"PhD-level experts in your back pocket" is a completely nonsensical description of AI but a pretty good description of social media if you follow the right people

Storage (in increasingly angrier shades of yellow): I am 98% full and 97% of it is seemingly identical sunset photos all taken within the last 6 months since you moved to Vancouver. Me: Hmm, yes, I see. Thank you. But also this one has fireworks. #Vancouver #Photography #SummerInTheCity
Photograph of one large blue and one small yellow firework exploding over the beach at sunset and reflecting in the water.

While this cartoon is probably referencing a particular activist group in the UK, it tends to hold true for others, protesting different issues non violently around the world.
Cartoon. A woman holds a placard reading “Stop Killing People” as two men wearing suits walk past, one says “bloody extremists”.

There is only one possible ending to this story, and sports aren't the last chapter. I guarantee that if you haven't lost five decades of rights in two weeks, you have no idea what this feels like, so I'm begging you: protect trans kids right now with everything you've got.

Photograph of a small sculpture of a figure welded together with lots of tiny intricate pieces of turquoise metal. The figure is bolted onto a concrete pillar, and facing out towards a harbour, with a horizon lined with skyscrapers, and a bright orange sun bursting through the clouds in the distance.

Photograph of a rugged rock formation on a steep mossy hill in a dense forest. Set into the side of the rock is a very small, dark green, wooden door. Laid out in front of the door is a small round stone painted to look like a lady bug, a reddish brown leaf, and tiny potion bottle.

“Before museums would even consider collecting or we could even imagine our lives highlighted in museums,” Frantz says, “much of that history saving is done through grassroots archives and libraries, the people that are collecting voraciously in their apartments.”

Greetings from cherry blossom season! 🌸☁️✨ #WishYouWereHere #CherryBlossom #Spring #Flowers #PNW #Photography #NaturePhotography #NatureIsLit #BloomScrolling
A very close up photograph of a soft pink cherry blossom flower, half open, and a smaller, new, not yet opened bud next to it, with a sprig of bright green leaves, all clustered together in focus in the center of the photo and sticking out of a silhouetted tree trunk on the right hand side of the photo. In the background, behind the flowers, an out of focus, blurry, and almost abstract pattern of dark pink cherry blossoms and tree branches is layered over a soft blue and white sky.

Photograph of a dense forest filled with tall thin trees. There are bright, green ferns in the centre, at the base of the shadowy, mossy trunks. The tree trunks stretch upwards all the way past the edge of the frame of the photo. The tops of the trees that are visible leading into the distance have clusters of bright green leaves that are obscuring the light blue sky and white clouds above and beyond.

Once again loving this interpretation of Caesar’s last words #IdesofMarch 🗡️
a picture of a book text. The text says "Suetonius adds that, according to some reports, he said in Greek 'Kai su, teknon' (which Shakespeare turned into the Latin 'Et tu, Brute'. It literally means 'You too, child', but what Caesar may have intended by the words isnt clear. Tempest cites 'an important article' by James Russell (1980) 'that has often been overlooked'. Russel points out that the words kai su often appear on curse tablets, and suggest that Caesar's putative last words were not 'the emotional parting declaration of a betrayed man to one he had treated like a son' but more along the lines of 'See you in hell, punk'.

"Life beats down and crushes the soul, and #art reminds you that you have one." - #StellaAdler Had my mind absolutely blown to bits by Firelei Báez, her bold colours and brilliantly subversive use of historical documents, and I'm feeling all the better for it. #FireleiBáez #Inspiration #WomensArt
Photo of a large scale painting hung on an off white gallery wall, lit by three gallery lights suspended above, and supported by a shiny hardwood floor stretching out below. The bottom layer of the large canvas on the wall is a rendering of a historical document featuring black architectural drawings on parchment coloured background. The painting layered over is bold and colourful, with large textured brushstrokes, depicting abstract crashing waves in blues and creams, seemingly leaping out of the canvas and away from the historical document behind. An abstract and colourful painting of a figure stepping out of a doorway towards the viewer. The painted doorway is curved at the top, and resembles a white stone alcove from antiquity designed for housing statues. The only recognizable human part of the figure is the legs, visible from the knees down, left foot forward, as the rest of the body is obscured by an explosion of colour and texture: yellows, oranges, pinks and greens, in a starburst type shape, expanding from the centre outwards and seemingly into the gallery space itself.

The art installation is a large mosaic of different historical documents, maps, photos, pages from books, etc., with colourful and abstract acrylic pantings and illustrations drawn directly over top. The first, top photo is a close up, focusing on single a page from a historical book, with a black and white photo of a man, and a painted white and pink striped female figure layered over, positioned so her defiant fist raised into the air is also punching up into his nostril. The second, bottom right photo is halfway zoomed out, depicting a variety of different sized rectangular pages from historical books with different, colourful, playful illustrations layered over each. The third, bottom left photo is fully zoomed out, showing all the individual pieces and the full scale of the mosaic installation stretching across a large, bright white, gallery wall.
